Wiring two LED drivers question

I have two meanwell 35's that each have their own power cord to the wall. How can I wire them both to the same cord so that I only need one cord to the wall?

Cut them and wire blue with blue and brown with brown, then jump onto the single wall wire and directly into the wall socket. For VAC doesn't really matter which wire is which, but keeping colors will help in the future.

For convenience sake and the possibility of the 2 units being separated at some point in the future the power strip is the best bet...also an extra protection of a power surge or short..but all you need to do is cut the plugs from the cords but leave a long enough tail so it can be used later for another project..split the plastic cord sheathing and strip off about a 1/4" of the insulation on the individual wires..then match up your wires from the 2 cords to one of the plugs and wire but them together and tape it up...that is the most basic way but not the prettiest
...but it works! Personally I suggest the power strip tho...but if you want to start getting some electrical experience hack and tape away I say! Good luck and trust me I am a total burnout that runs a .999999 THC blood level and I can do it...
